Cook vs. Rurckhartf.

y h''h'
When Chief Justice Cook of the
Mexico MteUtgencer gets through in
structlng the judiciary of this state
how criminal cases should be con-
Quoted in the courts, we presume he
will be willing to retire on half pay,
which is more than he is getting for
doing somebody's dirty work.
Judge Bucrkhartt is now in the 25th
year of service on the bench, and
needs no defense from us against the
attacks Of a fellow who knows no
more about law than a poodle does
about the hieroglyphics on Cleopa-
tra's needle. His previous attacks on
distinguished judges and lawyers
were mean and m%ercenary, and his
attack on Judge B~urckhartt was ma
llcious and designed to be mischiev-
GUS. The distinguished iurist can
afford to smile upon the puny eff
forts of the putative author of such
articles, and his friends can afford to
treat them with contempt.

us-a duty that brings to our mind
the inevitable fact that sooner on

friend or acquaintance whose up
rightness and integrity has endear.
ed them to Us or to those with whom
they have been associated. We
know not today what tomorrow
will bring. A short while ago
THOMAS MOORE FORT was an ac-
tive, useful citizen. To-day his body
lies silent in the tomb. Over three
score years of this worlds cares had
passed over his head, and dame
Nature had waited her timely breezes
and manifested plainly the mark of
time with her silver cords through
bis hair. But the silken chord that
held soul and body together is
now broken-all that is mortal has
returned to the earth whence it
came, and that which is not mortal
has winged its way to the sea of
life beyond, where, alone, there is
rest for the weary. With his en-
deared family around him, in his
last lingering days on earth, cheer
ing and comforting him with their
loving presence and devotion, so
closed the life of another of the
faithful at 7:2O o'clock on Tuesday
evening. April 10, 1887, at his late
residence in Minden.
Mr.. Fort was born in Twiggs
county, Georgia, August 20, 1920,
but was reared in Milledgeville.-
He came to Bellevue in 1S48, and
practiced law here until he removed
to Minden 10 1872. He was mar
ried to Miss Matte A. Connell, at
Fillmore, 10 this parish, in 1866
He leaves a devoted wife, Ave sons,
four daughters and large circle
Of relatives and friends TO mourn
his death. But they ''sorrow not as
those who have no hope" Dying
a Christian, his works do follow
him. He leaves to his respected
family the priceless legacy of a
goodly example and good Christian
training.
THOMAS N. FORT was truly a
good man, 10 the broadcast meaning
of that term. His chief desire in
life seemed to be not 80 much the
accumulation of property and the
achievement of fame as to build for
himself reputation for integrity.
That he succeeded in this, no man
who ever knew him in his life can
question. He was guided by sense
of honor rare in these days of 'dust
and pelf," and modest even to diff
dence, yet with courage and strength
he combined the gentleness of a
| woman. Conspicuous among his
cluster of virtues were his candol
and frankness. He was close
friend, as odor to the flower so was
truth to him-to his friends firm al
a rock, candid, sincere and disinter
ested. We have known him fr0u
our boyhood, and he has been tru'
in all the relations of life. His af
fections sprang from q deep ant
manly heart. As husband he wa
tender, devoted and faithful. As
citizen he was honest and incorrupt
lille. He was courteous in his bear
ing, gentle and kind in bis dispos
ton, conscientious in his conviction
and firm in his principles. Truly,
good man has passed away.
